Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q So say more about some of the use cases that stablecoins are currently enabling. Is it, is it mostly on an institutional level? Is it, is it on a consumer level? Or what are sort of the, the common interactions people are having with stablecoins right now?
A I think it's both. It depends sort of what markets you're talking about. Um, you know, there's a company in our current accelerator batch called Zarpay, which is, um, operating in Pakistan, and they're, um, basically creating a network of small, um, you know the little shops if you've been to Africa or, or wherever they have these little sort of mobile kiosks where you can put money on your phone and that sort of stuff. And so, um, they're basically using that network in order to Um, create a way for people to come in and deposit their local currency and get stable coins. Um, and then they're building a whole suite of, like, financial services around this kind of as the atomic unit. Um, and I think a lot of countries that have, you know, unstable currencies or, or other financial issues for which holding dollars or the equivalent of dollars in stable coins is very appealing, um, immediately understand the value of this and are very attracted to, to using it. So I think, you know, it goes from that All the way through to banks and financial institutions. Um, I think in many cases there's been an interest in crypto and, and some of the banks and financial institutions have wanted to get involved, but it's been very unclear how they could do it. Um, largely in part of the regulatory, largely as a result of the lack of regulatory clarity, but also because, you know, crypto can be a…

Q gonna make it so that there's hundreds of millions of users, I'm not sure what it is at the moment, across all of crypto, or a billion users. They asked before that, kind of, what's the iPhone moment? What's sort of the product that everyone's going to be using that's also a platform for everything? Is it stablecoins or is it something else? Or how do we think about that?
A I mean, I think the odds are good that, that stablecoins are that thing. Um, I also don't think that necessarily there needs to be one thing. I think, um, you know, we mentioned AI. Ali has made some investments in that category. We've, we've done some as a team. Um, I think like, you know, there's going to be different waves that bring in different users. A while ago, Web Three Games was a big entry point. Um, now it's AI and stablecoins. So, I think, you know, the, the users do come in waves. I think there's, um, a lot of it that sort of tracks the cycles that, um, you know, we see every couple of years in crypto. You know, Chris always talks about like, do you want to be the indie band or do you want to play like the Super Bowl or the, the mega stadium? And I think like stable coins really have the ability to appeal to like a much broader audience because like we said, it's just a use case that makes sense. It's, it's pretty clear what the value proposition is. Um, and so it, it appeals to a broader audience.
